GBC Games in a SNES Adapter?

[Scoots]

This should be an easy one for someone to answer....will Game Boy Color games work with that SNES Game Boy adapter?

[Bratwurst]

It depends if the cartridge in question also has a black and white mode for the classic Gameboy. Megaman Extreme will play on a Super Gameboy, I believe.

But none play in color though?

Mmno. Not like a GBC anyways.

GBC games won't work in a Super Game Boy. Dual Games, as Brat said, will work. Those are the ones in the black cases. The ones in clear cases (CGB Only) won't work. There was one released in Japan for the N64, which also had the ext port built in, which you could probably import, but I'd just wait for the game boy player coming in June.

Anotherfluke,

I've never heard of the N64 GB adaptor. Any idea who made it? What was it called?

I remember seeing some kind of adaptor for the PSX and N64 in the back of magazines, but I believe they kinda only functioned as emulators (often no sound, etc.)

I'd love to hear any more info on this!
Thanks!

The N64 GBC adapters are I think called Super Game Boy 2, they were released in Japan by Nintendo, and are used in our testing dept, or they were anyways. There is also one called the Wide Boy, for the N64 to convert GBA games, but that is strictly Dev only. Game magazines use them to get their pics of GBA games.

There are unofficial ones called GB Hunter. Lik-Sang used to have them, but I don't know if they do anymore. They pop up every so often on eBay.

I have to say, the new GB Player for GCN is really nice.
